In the idyllic “Planetveien” on the west side of Oslo, lays Arne Korsmo fantastic home among pine trees and heather. This architectural pearl is from 1955 and was designed in collaboration with Christian Nordberg Schulz.

And my dream home in Planetveien 12 is now for sale! For “only” 7, 75 million NOK you can take ownership of the home of the father of Norwegian functionalisms and his wife, the artist Grete Prytz Kittelsen. Unfortunately, Arne Korsmo was not one of my friends, but I still want to show you his home.

Some of the main criteria for the architects were daylight and an open situation. The house has therefore been designed with large windows and a close contact with the surrounding nature. Flexibility is also an important aspect for both Korsmo and Planetveien 12, where each room is designed specifically for its function. Arne Korsmo was good friends with the American designer couple Charles and Ray Eames and their influence can clearly be seen in this house.
